Vanilla Choc Chip Muffins are a delightful combination of classic vanilla flavour and the decadent indulgence of chocolate chips. These muffins are a testament to the magic of simple ingredients, creating something comforting.
The base of these muffins is a mixture of flour and baking powder, which ensures a light and airy texture. Add granulated sugar and a few drops of aromatic vanilla essence to sweeten the deal. This infuses the muffins with that wonderful vanilla aroma we all love.
Eggs and oil join the party, creating a moist and tender crumb. The chocolate chips are the show’s star, adding bursts of rich, melty goodness to every bite.
Baking these muffins is a breeze. After mixing the batter until smooth, you’ll fill greased muffin trays halfway with the cake mixture. A quick bake in a preheated oven at 180°C for 20 minutes, and you’re in muffin heaven.
To check doneness, insert a skewer into the centre of a muffin. If it comes out clean, muffins are perfectly baked.
Pro tip: Allow the muffins to cool slightly in the oven after baking. This helps set the texture and keeps them moist.
These Vanilla Choc Chip Muffins are perfect for breakfast, a sweet snack, or a delightful dessert. They pair wonderfully with a cup of coffee or cold milk.
